Goldex Resources Signs Drilling Contract for El Pato, Guatemala

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 28, 2011) -Goldex Resources Corporation (TSX:GDX) ("Goldex" or the "Company") announced today that, further to its announcement of an upcoming 5,000 metre drill program on its El Pato property in Guatemala, the Company has contracted Kluane Guatemala S.A. ("Klaune") to conduct the diamond drilling.

Klaune will initially drill 12 holes to confirm the historic grades and historically inferred resources previously assessed on El Pato and further determine whether there is a continuation of mineralization extending along strike as far as the El Sauce sector where high-grade gold mineralization has been shown.

"Kluane expects to commence drilling operations during the first week of May and with the exploration program designed by our geologists we expect a very active spring," Charles Ross, Goldex President, stated.

The El Pato gold vein target is situated in an emerging gold district in Guatemala. Several major and junior resource mining companies are very active in the area, including Radius Gold with their Holly-Banderas property, Tahoe Resource's Escobal silver mine that contains an indicated resource of 300 million oz eq. of silver and Goldcorp's Cerro Blanco property which lies to the south of El Pato and has a proven resource of 1.3 million oz of gold. El Pato has a prestigious legacy of discovery having first been explored by the United Nations in the late 1980's and early 1990's.
